He laughed when she stifled hers, pausing a minute before stabbing a small forkful and re-stuffing his face. She wasn't expecting him to be so flippant about Lecia and Newton- an advantage. He was guilty of nothing but a conversation and a smile, a shared memory with someone. Where (or when) that memory came from was immaterial- he'd been a free man then.

When he was ready to go on, "Probably had something to do with Dad..." he caught himself, "...er, her Dad. That whole thing with her sister and their inheritance... her family's a bit of a mess sometimes- probably got her brain tied up in knots."

It had nothing to do with the letter she'd received, or the inheritance- yesterday had been his Wedding Day in the other universe, to Lecia. He'd spent a great night and the better part of the next morning with Julia in this universe.

He'd seen Lecia- briefly, last night- when Jere brought her into the cabin, unable to walk on her own. Yes, he knew that her being upset was because of him. It wasn't fair- he wasn't upset that she had a boyfriend, why should she be upset about him and Julia? He looked in Julia's eyes, "Howard's a good healer, but he can be overbearing." A hitch as he realized his mistake, You idiot! How do you know that name?Relax Brick. Brenda.

He made a face as if clearing something from his teeth, "Lecia's Dad is one of the healers that's treating my sister in St. Mungo's. Lec and me have talked about him quite a bit." An awkward silence.

A change of subject, "Hey, I was thinking about going to watch the aurora australis- someone told me the bluff a bit south of here has a great view of them- if they show up. We... we kinda missed them the other night." A smirk, as he reached out a foot to catch her attention, a little footsie, a little nudge. "Interested? Maybe bring your guitar? It... it'll be fun."

Julia nearly spit out her food trying to repress a laugh. “I… don’t think so,” she said, still covering her mouth.

“Strange, how? I hope she’s alright?”

Once Julia successfully swallowed her food, she accepted the roll. She propped her elbow on the table and rested her chin in her hand, keeping her eyes on him.

“Well… I’ve only seen her act that way once. When she blamed me for ruining her chances with someone. But that can’t be the case, since she does have a boyfriend, and you’re the only person I’ve been snogging.”

She took a bite of the roll, still not straying from his eyes. “Weird, isn’t it?”

Dinner was a necessity- he'd gone without a real meal for a couple of days now, and he seriously needed the nutrients. Between the love and the tears and the climbing and physical activities and the mental fatigue of the past few days all catching up with him, he was hungry.

After only a few minutes of food bliss, his girlfriend showed up.

His girlfriend. The thought made him smile from the inside out. She sat, and he smiled at her- reached out for her hand, her leg- to touch her as if to prove she were real. He'd have leaned in to give her a kiss, but he had his mouth full.

She must have had something on her mind, "Say... have you talked to Lecia lately? She was acting strange earlier."

He didn't choke. He didn't swallow hard, or make any outward motion that there was anything out of the ordinary at all. He did make a noise indicating that he had something to say, but not not until he was done with this bite of food.

Eventually, "For a minute or two? Down at the beach. She was looking for her love." All of it, technically true. He swiveled his head, giving the room a once-over. Satisfied in the construction in his head, "Where is that Newton, anyway? You don't suppose they..." a leading question, with a little wraggly-eyebrows.

He hoped she was. For her own sake, she deserved to be happy. To get everything she wanted. He hoped.

After her brief talk with Lecia, Julia had spent some time in her room, thinking things over. She grabbed a hasty lunch, then laid out by the river, thinking some more. Like how did Lecia know they were dating so soon? She hadn’t told anyone.

She did notice Brick had been missing from breakfast and lunch the previous day. Lecia had missed all the mealtimes. Brick wouldn’t have gone to her right after they started dating, would he have? No, he wasn’t like that.

Or was he? He had snogged someone who was in a relationship, which she thought he’d never do. Not after Pax had done it to her. Now she was just being paranoid. Lecia, who knows where she was. Brick was probably just tired from camping. It was probably all fine.

But still, Lecia had been pretty peeved that Julia was with Brick, after suggesting several times that the two of them should get together.

Julia sat next to Brick with her food.

“Say… Have you talked to Lecia lately? She was acting strange earlier.”
